In Ipiaú, Bahia, FB Bombas offers FBE, FBCN series sized for cacau. In-house factory in Cabreúva-SP (1284 km), direct technical service from engineering and 72-96h logistics lead time for critical parts. Standards: API 676 and ASME B73.1; API 610 on engineered-to-order projects.
Cabreúva-SP → Ipiaú (1284 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book. For pumping projects in Ipiaú, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316) and on-site commissioning support. Ipiaú sits 203 km from the refining cluster centered in Sao Francisco Do Conde, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Ipiaú with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance, with direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory. Membership in the Sul Baiano mesoregion (IBGE) places Ipiaú in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. Ipiaú is served by the BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. FB Bombas maintains in Ipiaú the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 676 + ASME B73.1 (API 610 on engineered-to-order projects) — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. Ipiaú's industrial profile centers on Cacau — sectors with specific pumping demands that FB Bombas meets with dedicated product series. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Ipiaú, Bahia with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers), API 610 engineered-to-order projects and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped.
In Ipiaú, API 676 for positive displacement and — on critical services, via engineered-to-order projects — API 610 for centrifugal, the typical downstream Oil & Gas package are the applicable references — easing approval at commissioning and during technical audits. In Ipiaú, influence from the refino cluster translates into crude oil, derivatives, high temperature (up to 260°C in FBCN, 350°C in FBOT) and API 610 requirements met via engineered-to-order projects — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. Lead time for critical parts to Ipiaú is typically 72-96h — a function of distance (1284 km) and the available road modal.
A GDP of R$ 715 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (50.8% of value added in 2021) places Ipiaú's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Ipiaú belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. Typical seasonality of the refino cluster (scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Ipiaú. The demand profile in Ipiaú reflects high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand. In Ipiaú, cacau plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. Ipiaú: special projects (skids, retrofit, mobile sets) are part of FB's portfolio, anchored in the already-normalized hydraulics of the FBCN/FBE series. In Ipiaú, fire-pump sets (electric, diesel or electric+diesel) follow NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 — supplied through FBFS. Ipiaú among the 50 most populous cities in BA, maintains a relevant industrial base — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment. Due to proximity to the refino cluster, Ipiaú shares a technical agenda with crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a direct path to series and materials selection.
The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Ipiaú is BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), totaling 1284 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Beyond the main route, Ipiaú is accessible via BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 — options that provide redundancy in case of blockages or restricted operating windows. Technical-service coverage for Ipiaú involves technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel. Typical transit time to Ipiaú: 48-72h, with possible technical stop — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Ipiaú occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Beyond Ipiaú, FB Bombas supplies the FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI series for cacau plants across multiple Brazilian cities — shared technical repertoire, field-validated materials and traceable Data Book on every project.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Ipiaú, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.
Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Ipiaú and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Ipiaú eligible for the BNDES Finame lines — Industrial Working Capital, Modernization and Capital Goods —, which offer preferential conditions for national industry. The product's FINAME code is provided by the commercial team on the technical proposal, ready to compose the customer's financial plan.
Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Ipiaú, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.
Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Ipiaú, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
During a plant shutdown in Ipiaú, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.
It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to Ipiaú goes through our regular road operator.
